Three-time JUNO Award nominees (2008, 2009, 2011 Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year), Newworldson rocketed to international fame after the release of Salvation Station and an invitation to join the Newsboys on the GO Tour in 2007-08. Further recognition followed with the success of their first hit single, “There Is A Way,” peaking at number two on the Billboard Music chart for Christian Songs, reaching the number one spot at Christian radio in Canada, the UK and Australia, and helping to garner three of seven awards in total from the Gospel Music Association. In 2012, Newworldson released their fourth album, Rebel Transmission, which cracked iTunes’ top 10 for Christian/Gospel albums in the U.S. and Canada, and scored another top-three single with “Learning To Be The Light,” a song that remained on U.S. Christian radio charts for nearly a year (Billboard peak: number three – Christian Songs on March 24, 2012). Rebel Transmission received critical acclaim for “its willingness to take its music down musical avenues not commonly traveled by artists of faith” (crosswalk.com) and celebrated by fans for its effortless fusion of pop, roots, and Motown era horn arrangements by the Chops Horns (Alicia Keys, the Police).
